This is clear propaganda!
The German Shepherd is breeds 1-10 AND 11-20!
Beagles Shmeagles!
Labbies are the best friend ever!
Australian Shepherds.
Bah
Jack Russells talk.
Goldens rock.
My neighbor has a French Bulldog. The dog sounds like he swallows his tongue when barking.
Black Lab! Number 1!
Just lost second Rottweiler. Third one is coming soon.
I have the German Shepherd.
I can understand why the Frenchie made the list. Its cute and adorable!
If it's not a basenji, it's just a dog.
Can’t believe Jacks and Pit bulls aren’t on there.
Everywhere I turn these days, somebody is walking a pit bull. The local shelter is wall to wall with them.
My wife breeds itty bitty Poodles. Great watchdogs. Hear things bigger dogs don’t and light sleepers. Nothing gets past them. Best home security system ever, and unlike electronic systems take voice commands perfectly.
As they bite the perps ankles (nobody can touch them unless the dogs want them too) the perp bends over and is in a great position to address their cranial lead deficiency.
For some strange reason if you can get a good healthy TINY poodle it is like winning the lottery.
I guess I need to than Hollywood bimbos like Paris Hilton for making these little dogs worth a fortune.
Also, super easy to train, potty training is putting them on a paper a couple of times, don’t shed, don’t need a big backyard, don’t have to clean their poop (you can’t find it if they go outside), can exercise them indoors and are the best dog for people with breathing issues and cost pennies a day to give them the best food available.
Also, if you are going to breed dogs I feel like they are going to be treated better if someone pays an arm and leg for them...
We also have Golden Doodles to keep an eye on them. But big doodle dogs need to be run miles and miles daily. Which is hard to do with the weather we’ve had in Colorado lately.
the Border Collie—most intelligent of canines—is the unofficial “official” dog of home educating families :)
Labbies are wonderful dogs,but a German Shepherd will lay down his life to save you.
I agree completely. Got two of the boogers and they are the greatest dogs we ever had. One a laid back hipster type male of 120 lbs. and a very attentive almost hyper female of 80 lbs, both straight backs and traditional color.
Gorgeous dogs, loyal, loving, easy to train but gawd do they make fur. The only blonde hair the wifey said I can show up with on my clothes.
